Is it possible for coconut oil to activate genital herpes? if taken internally? Just wondering because I ate a jar of this stuff and a week later had my first ever outbreal of hsv2 on my groin. I also had sex with a girl who said she was negative for herpes but im not sure? id like to go back to taking coconut oil to suppres the virus but im confused if it will suppress it or activate it in my body? any help please? thanks!!
